Mk2 Clio 1.2 8v Gearbox filler and drain point??

[potter88]

My nearside cv joint is getting a bit worn and knocks under hard accleration now.

I know if you remove the nearside driveshaft it loses all the gearbox oil so will drain it before i remove it.

Just want to know where the drain plug is and the filler point too?

Also what oil is used for this gearbox??

Anyones advice is much appreciated

Drainplug is on the bottom, looks just like the engine oil drain plug iirc.

Filler plug is a wingnut on the front of the box. Best way to fill it up is a length of hose and a funnel.

No worries, I can't remember off the top of my head what gear oil and what capacity, I think it's somewhere around 2.2L and possibly a 75w90 but I could be way off.
